Easy.   I just thnk about the last time I brought in a
cat to take care of an emergency basis and my
female acted like she was on the Enterprise and
a Klingon just beamed aboard.  

Also my male is 19 years old and i'm not
sure he is well enough to handle a new cat
in the house.

my e-mail address.

I keep adding conditions: first, no declawed cats, then no true
longhairs, most recently, none that come from within ten miles of
where I live (all the runaways came from within that range, and only
three (kittens) that stayed).

I came to the decision long ago that I could only do so much.  I
compensated by volunteering at the HS - a kill shelter.  I decided
that if I couldn't save them all, I would let them know someone loved
them, if only for a day.  I wanted their last days to be filled with
some love, not just a scary time in a cage.  That's how I found my
peace.  That is how I came to terms with it.

I "own" two, and I foster to the limit of what our foster program allows.

When it comes to adopting, I simply ask myself if I can afford proper
medical or emergency care for another cat.
